I was pleasantly surprised to come across this gem in the heart of Monti, just a couple steps off Rome's metro line in Cavour. The Mercato Monti Market, is a place to enjoy the best local and Italian vendors, who supply some of the nicest handmade and old-school vintage collections.

Some of the items are pricy, but most are one-of-a-kind pieces you should consider adding to your wardrobe. Overall, the atmosphere of the space is inviting, and has a cozy feel. The location is located at Via Leonina 46, right beside the Cavour metro station (down). The event happens from 10am-8pm almost every Saturday and Sunday and free entry. If your in the area this could be a perfect afternoon stop.

Also, if you finish visiting in 5-10 mins or less, the entire street hosts some of the coolest independent vintage shops, so you're shopping exploration will definitely continue. It's all a giant hunt, so you might come out with nothing or a handful of jewels and hidden treasures.
